Giant introduce new Anthem, Trance, XtC and Fathom mountain bikes

[Pipsqueak]

Nino is only "changing his views" on a course that warrants it.

And cause he could get his handlebar low enough on a 29er. For the first time.

I really wanted a new anthem advanced next year but can't see myself on a 27.5

There's probably going to be an XCO focussed 100mm 29er coming in the not-so-distant future. I predict it'll happen when the 2017 Reign is launched. #watchthisspace

90mm's maybe. Can't see them not having a XCO focused bike in the range. There's a definite gap.

 

Still, some seriously cool bikes in the range. Lots of work went into these.

Only other people will see you on it, so that's fine

Then wait for the 2017 Anthem 29ers to be revealed. Everyone is quick to make assumptions on what hasn't been said. 2 days ago you didn't know any of the range.....

The paint on the new Trance 2 is epic!!! Big improvement over my 2016 model haha

[Mr X]

I wonder if they have lifted the BB of the Anthem, probably not, this is the only thing that I do not like - the nasty pedal hits.

 

Edit: well actually if I would guess that just by looking with the eye it does seem like the Anthem bb is higher than before, probably the 120mm front instead of 100mm

Wow, those trances look great. Would like to know pricing and if they are all spec'd with Pikes.

You can be reasonably certain that the pricing will be very close to the $ equivalent at the time they landed here. I just hope they land now, rather than a month ago!

 

On the advanceds, it's Pike RCT3 / Kashima 34 / Yari. 

 

On the alu, it's 34 Rhythm / Sektor.

Spotted! I checked the UK site and there wasn't anything there. Jeez, they look like a bundle of fun. Now, wonder if there will be rush of older Trance sales.

Very nice bikes just a pity that the price has gone through the roof just like Cannondale.

Naah, don't think so...

 

Wonder if I can make my 2015 one SS...

Oijoijoi... now you've really started me thinking....

hmmmm now with Anthem having 120mm up front it will make the decision a little harder between Trance & Anthem ...which one will be the GoTo ride all day bike ??
